Red Square

A common place one has to visit in Moscow.

This is a big hughe place. You may also buy some ice cream near that place, also in Winter!

I have this obsession with eventually seeing the big three dead socialist leaders: Lenin, Mao, and Ho Chi Minh. It fascinates me that these people are considered to have been so instrumental to their countries that they will actually PUBLICLY DISPLAY THEIR DEAD BODIES.

Uncle Ho is done. I’ve been to Beijing three times, but never quite managed to see the Chairman, but I plan on that happening next time I go to China (hopefully, next summer).

So, the only one left for an unknown time in the future is Lenin.

The square itself is only open twice a week. Make sure you go on a day its open. Otherwise, you cant even walk around the edge. Worse than that, I couldnt even go a block away and walk around it that way to get to the other side. Oddly enough, Lenin’s tomb is not open the days the square is open, but it is open the other days.

And so it is.
